What's a GreazeFest?

The GreazeFest is the 'must-do' kustom kulture event in the Southern Hemisphere.

Held in Brisbane, Australia, the GreazeFest is a crankin' weekend of cool cars, rockabilly tunes, vintage bikes, lowrider cycles, low brow art, pinstripers, tattoos and vintage threads.

The event is now in it's eleventh year and it has become an annual ritual for kustom kulture devotees from all over the world.

New Digs

After many years in the groove, the GreazeFest has made it's move!

We are settling into new digs at the Rocklea Showground, which means a HUGE site for the hot rod show on Sunday, and an enormous live music zone for Friday night and Saturday night.
